Read The Months
Duration: July 1, 2025 - September 30, 2025

Level July: 1-4 tasks
Level August: 5 - 9 tasks
Level September: 10 or more
Each task can be done as often as needed.

TASKS

1. July is the seventh month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. It was named by the Roman Senate in honour of Roman general Julius Caesar in 44 B.C., being the month of his birth. Before then it was called Quintilis, being the fifth month of the calendar that started with March.
🗓️ Read a book that is set in Rome or where a character celebrates a birthday or with the number 7, 4, or 5 in the page count.

2. July's zodiac signs are Cancer and Leo. Cancer-Leo cusp individuals, born at the transition between these two zodiac signs, often exhibit a blend of both Cancer's nurturing and emotional nature and Leo's confidence and passion. They can be both sensitive and dramatic, sometimes hiding sadness behind a smile. This cusp also creates a unique blend of shyness and a desire for the spotlight, making them intriguing and sometimes contradictory.
🗓️ Read a book where a character has cancer or with a character who is described as confident or a character who hides something.

3. The main birthstone for July is ruby. However, onyx is also recognized as an alternative birthstone for July. Rubies are known for their vibrant red color and are associated with love, passion, and courage.
🗓️ Read a book with a red cover or with a character who shows courage (Your interpretation) or where the authors initials can be found in JULY.

4. August is named in honor of the Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar. The month was originally called "Sextilis" in Latin, meaning "sixth month," as it was the sixth month in the original ten-month Roman calendar.
🗓️ Read a book that was published in August of any year or a sixth in a series or where the authors initials can be found in CAESAR.

5. The birthstones for August are Peridot, Spinel, and Sardonyx. The original stone of August was Sardonyx, dating way back to Ancient Roman times. Ranging from amber to bright green in colour, it was often confused with Peridot - a dazzling green stone and so the second birthstone was adopted.
🗓️ Read a book with a green cover or a second in a series or where the authors initials can be found in PERIDOT.

6 . August-born people are often described as having a blend of leadership qualities, a strong work ethic, and a discerning nature. They are known for being confident, organized, and practical, with a good sense of humor and a warm, charismatic personality. They are also said to be good communicators and have a creative streak.
🗓️Read a book with a character who has a strong work ethic or a book tagged humor or where the first letter of each title word can be fouhnd in COMMUNICATORS. (Three word minimum).

7. September marks the beginning of the ecclesiastical year in the Eastern Orthodox Church. It is the start of the academic year in many countries of the northern hemisphere, in which children go back to school after the summer break, sometimes on the first day of the month.
🗓️ Read a book where a character goes to church or when a character returns to school or where the authors initials can be found in ORTHODOX.

8. The birthstone for September is the Sapphire. While often associated with a deep blue hue, sapphires can also be found in other colors like pink, yellow, and green. Red sapphires, however, are classified as rubies. Sapphires have been valued for centuries and are associated with royalty, nobility, and spirituality. They symbolize trust, sincerity, and nobility.
🗓️ Read a book that has a blue cover or with a character who is royalty or where the authors initials can be found in SEPTEMBER.

9. September-born individuals are often described as having a balanced temperament, combining both analytical and creative qualities. They are known for their loyalty, kindness, and strong sense of responsibility, often acting as reliable and thoughtful individuals. Furthermore, they are known for their diplomacy and charm, excelling in maintaining harmonious relationships.
🗓️ Read a book where a character who is creative or a character who shows someone kindness or where the authors initials can be found in DIPLOMACY.
